    Stoffel Vandoorne Facts

  • He first came into contact with motorsport racing at the age of 6 when he visited a local kart track with his father, who was contracted to design a restaurant there, and the track’s owner gifted him a kart.
  • In 2008, he achieved his karting breakthrough when he became the Belgian KF2 Champion. He stood 2nd in the CIK-FIA World Cup in the KF2 category in 2009.
  • In 2010, he was named the Royale Automobile Club of Belgium (RACB) ‘Rookie of the Year’. He was then honored with the ‘RACB Driver of the Year’ award in 2012, 2014, and 2015.
  • In March 2016, the McLaren Honda team announced that Stoffel would participate in the Bahrain Grand Prix, the 2nd race of the season, as one of their regular drivers Fernando Alonso was unfit to drive after a major accident in the previous round. Stoffel astonished everyone by finishing the race in the 10th position and became the first reserve driver to score points in his debut F1 race since Sebastian Vettel had achieved this rare feat at the 2007 United States Grand Prix.
